Discover the true essence of nutmeg with our Whole Nutmeg. This sublime spice, once the object of explorers' quest, hails from the lush, tropical Spice Islands. As an integral component of an evergreen tree, the nutmeg seed stands as a testament to nature's culinary generosity. Each hard-shelled nutmeg encapsulates a world of aromatic possibilities, while its encasing lacy veil is the equally exotic spice mace.
